Diaries [subseries] [RESTRICTED until 2017]

The Diaries subseries (1.75 linear feet) consists primarily of transcriptions of dictations Warner made during his time at the National Archives (see the Audio Visual series for some of the actual cassette tapes).

Warner continued keeping a personal and professional diary though 2000. The Diaries are restricted until 2017.

Correspondence [series]

The Correspondence series (5 linear feet) consists of both professional and personal correspondence. The first box consists of miscellaneous correspondence organized by date 1945-1993. The next two boxes consist of Warner's correspondence in the 1990s and maintains Warner's alphabetical arrangement. Included here is a folder dedicated solely to correspondence regarding Don Wilson, former Archivist of the United States whose career was tinged with controversy due to the Bush administration's threatened destruction of e-mail records in 1993. The fourth box holds letters from Jane to her Aunt between 1983-1985 and letters from Jane to her some Mark, known as "Bunkie" throughout the 1980s. These letters are frequent, from a few per month to a few per week, and describe Jane's personal activities, the whereabouts of the Warner family, as well as many aspects of Robert's professional life. The fourth box also holds a shoebox labeled "Daddy's Love Letters" (1949-1954 bulk 1952-1954), which mostly are from Robert to Jane and cover the period when he was in the Army stationed in Europe and his early time in Ann Arbor. There are also some letters from Jane to her parents in Ohio from the same vintage. The fifth box contains Personal Correspondence from Jane Warner to her mother and Aunt Eleanor Bullock ("Auntie") from 1962 to 1982. Researches can find official correspondence from Warner's time at the National Archives in the National Archives series.

Audio-Visual [series]

The Audio-Visual series (4.25 linear feet) consists of two sub-series: Photographs and Audio.

Photos [subseries]

The Photographs subseries (3.75 linear feet) contains collections of slides, photo albums and snapshots from various professional trips and celebrations. Of interest are slides of the construction of the Bentley Library, professional trips to China, Japan, Russia, Poland, and Scandinavia. The series contains one box of reproductions of architectural drawings of proposals for the National Archives Buildings. There are also folders/pockets of photographs from functions at the national archives and professional shots for publications publicity.

The Audio subseries (.5 linear feet) contains 69 cassettes and 5 mini cassettes. The cassettes range from the early 1970s to 2004. The earliest cassettes are unprofessional recordings of Warner on radio programs speaking about the archival profession. Many of the cassettes are diary entries that were later transcribed (see the Diary Series) and that are slightly different from the transcription. The diary recordings after 2000 were never transcribed. Other tapes are lectures, speeches, family recordings (Warner Christmas 1971), Concerts, and minutes from committee meetings he attended.
